They let the Democrat politician go, though. She admitted doctor shopping for addictive drugs, so they just said "Oh. OK then. You're free to go."
Sure they did. But they didn't let a group of anonymous citizens, some disabled veterans who had ended up addicted because of pain, go. They prosecute normal citizens who sadly get caught up in these drugs all the time. Equal protection under the law is a complete joke when it comes to drug offenses (or even mere accusations).
Rush is lucky they haven't yet tried to seize his house. They may be trying to build a case to do just that -- if they can prove possession of a certain amount, that's an automatic "intent to distribute" (i.e., drug dealing) charge. Fortunately, they would have a hard time "proving" Rush bought his mansion from drug proceeds (given his high-profile job). The average citizen wouldn't be that lucky.

Not quite -
State Sen. Mandy Dawson quietly turned herself in at a Tallahassee jail on Friday afternoon, two days after a Leon County judge signed a warrant for her arrest on prescription drug fraud charges.
The Fort Lauderdale Democrat -- charged with obtaining and attempting to obtain controlled substances by fraud -- spent only 20 minutes at the Leon County Jail. She was booked, fingerprinted, photographed and released on a $2,500 bond, according to jail deputy Raymond Sims.
If convicted of the third-degree felony, Dawson -- who allegedly changed a 60-pill prescription for the painkiller Lorcet-10 to one for 160 pills -- will be removed from office and sentenced to a maximum of five years in prison."
At her court appearance -
"Dawson said. "I fully intend to comply with whatever it is that drug court or any other legal proceeding requires of me."
Rush has admitted to NO illegal act, and has spent millions attacking the integrity of the court and law enforcement officials.
